Benevolent patriarchs McDonald's like to tout their McResources hotline -
"Getting Help Is Easy!" "Free help when you need it!" - for employees inexplicably having trouble making ends meet on their lavish $8.25 an
hour wages. So when they got a distressed call from
Nancy, a Chicago woman with two kids who's worked there ten years
without a raise, they naturally offered her a living wage and health
benefits. Ha ha, not. Actually, the nice lady told Nancy she should
check out food pantries, food stamps and Medicaid - the kinds of
benefits that over half of fast food workers have to get to survive. Because it's job-creating McDonald's, not whining mooching Nancy, that really needs help here.
From Low Pay Is Not OK.
